Yang Jinyan thought that once Cen Shuang grew up, everything would go according to plan. However, he had forgotten that there was another saying, ‘Life is unpredictable’. No one knew what would happen next.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Cen Shuang bit her lip. Her face was glowing under the warm light. The light caused her facial features to glisten brightly. Her hands that were by her sides now gripped her skirt forcefully.

Yang Jinyan went forward and grabbed onto her wrist, blocking her path. His gaze fell on Cen Shuang’s face, his gaze was burning with determination. “The Cen Shuang that I know clearly understands love and hate. She would never deliberately hide the relationship we had. In the past until now, have you

ever felt that you couldn’t tell me something? Even if we are just friends, you don’t have to hide from me. You will only make me misunderstand. You treat me…”

Cen Shuang nodded. “Alright, I won’t hide from you. But let’s make it clear. I’m already married. We can only be friends.”

Yang Jinyan chuckled. “Alright, as long as you don’t hide from me, we can still be friends.”

Yang Jinyan gazed at Cen Shuang. As he looked at her bright face illuminated by the light, he understood that Cen Shuang had a straightforward personality. Cen Shuang, who seemed aloof and unapproachable, was actually a kind and attentive lady. Since she did not want to leave the Zhuang family now,

he would just assume that she wanted to leave if she could. She was only being responsible for Zhuang Hong, He felt more relieved than distressed.

Cen Shuang said firmly, “Yang Jinyan, we are just friends.”

The determination in Cen Shuang’s eyes made Yang Jinyan hesitate a little. Realizing how determined she was, he finally said, “Okay.”

“It’s good to be friends. As long as you don’t avoid me, as long as you don’t ignore me.’

Past the rose garden, there was a two-meter arch bridge. Cen Shuang bent down and tidied up her stained dress. She did not pay attention to where she placed her feet and missed a step. She fell into the small stream under the arch bridge. Cen Shuang reacted quickly. She tuned around and stood steadily

by the side of the road. Looking at the loose bluestone slab, she could not help but frown. It looked like the Zhuang family had to redecorate.

The pair of eyes in the bushes stared at the pale yellow figure entering the east garden villa. Finally, they saw the balcony on the second floor.

Cen Shuang thought to herself that she was really unlucky today. It was one thing for her dress to be dirty, but she had even sprained her ankle by the bridge. Now when she walked, she felt pain shooting up her ankle. She took some ice cubes from downstairs and supported herself with the railing of the

stairs on her way up. Because of the banquet, everyone in the eastern courtyard had gone to the main residence. Cen Shuang found it hard to walk, but at least she had made it to the room door. The lights in the room were not turned on. Before Cen Shuang could speak, a dark figure emerged from the

shadows behind her. The person covered her mouth and nose. She smelled something off. Cen Shuang vigilantly held her breath.

She clasped the arms of the person behind her with both hands, bent down, and threw the person out with a shoulder throw. The dark figure fell to the ground and let out a muffled cry of pain.

Cen Shuang relied on muscle memory to find the light switch by the door. The entire room was illuminated, and she could now see the figure on the ground clearly.

Cen Shuang growled, “It’s you again!”

‘When she saw Zhuang Tinghao on the ground, Cen Shuang wished she could stab him with a knife immediately.

Zhuang Tinghao fell to the ground and felt that his internal organs had been shattered. The handkerchief he had been holding also fell to the ground. He stood up after a long while. When he looked at Cen Shuang, he saw a hint of fear in her eyes. Very quickly, he mustered up his courage and looked at

Cen Shuang’s swaying body. He smiled.

Zhuang Tinghao smiled maliciously and said, “Your skills are getting better and better. I really went to a lot of trouble to keep you from fighting.”

‘When Cen Shuang had felt that something was wrong, she only stopped breathing. However, before that, she had still inhaled a lot of the fragrance. At first, she was fine, but now, she felt that her limbs had become weak.

Cen Shuang moved carefully. “How did you get in? Aren’t you afraid that mother and grandfather will find out?”

Zhuang Tinghao immediately leaned against the door vigilantly and locked it. Seeing that he had succeeded, he smiled. “It doesn’t matter. If aunt finds out, I’l say that you seduced me. As for grandfather, I’m the only grandson in the Zhuang family. Even if he’s angry, will he be able to cut off his own

grandson?”

Zhuang Tinghao’s fearlessness and insidiousness made Cen Shuang angry. However, she knew that it was almost impossible to escape this situation. Zhuang Tinghao had tried to attack her several times but failed. It was obvious that he was even more ruthless this time. She only inhaled a little and her

body began to feel weak.

Her escape route was clearly blocked. Cen Shuang could only lean into the room. However, with Zhuang Hong’s condition, how could he beat this b*stard, Zhuang Tinghao?

Zhuang Tinghao looked at Cen Shuang with bright eyes. “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. If you’re obedient, I won’t mistreat you. But if you insist on not listening to my advice, don’t blame me for not taking pity on you.”

He had thought about this woman for too long and he wanted her. No other woman had ever made him expend this much effort..
